Open Space Advisory Board Minutes July 10, 2019 Page 2 of 3 6. City Council Liaison Update Council will discuss Phillips 66 development options in October. Primary employer would have a facility at the center, with senior housing, shops, and retail. Developer has initial (draft) plans to have portions of public open space on the property, so OSAB review will be needed later in the year. 7. Board Updates David noted that the Superior part of the Coal Creek trail opened recently. David noted that the trail proposal we reviewed earlier on the Ascent Church property will need to be revisited as Ascent is not planning to build on the 96th Street property. 8. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda NA 9. Discussion Item: Transportation Master Plan Review with Focus on Trails Connectivity: Presented by Lisa Ritchie, Associate Planner, Planning Dept. See materials provided by Lisa Ritchie on page 14 of the July 2019 OSAB Meeting packet. Lisa noted that OSAB provided initial input in Sept. 2018. Planning has solicited input from citizens through a variety of modes in the past months and has consolidated input into master document with list of all options. Intent is to guide CIP planning for next 10+ years; list is not fully funded at the time. Ember asked for any questions and clarified a few items on the map. Depending on the multi -use path location or upcoming projects different departments may be involved in construction of the multi -use path, the goal is to work together as a City to create a complete system throughout town. For Example, the transportation plan piece (e.g., a road improvement and sidewalk installation would be managed by Public Works). She noted that the main question for OSAB is if anything is missing or if the board doesn't support something currently listed. Bob clarified that OSAB needs to make sure that all trails and connections are "on the map" for review and consideration. Missy asked how does Wayfinding fit in? Lisa said TMP would recommend implementation of Wayfinding as a policy recommendation. Fiona seconded Missy's concern. Peter asked if any group is looking at the entire map, not just their road/parks projects. Lisa said that the Planning staff performs this function (as well as OSAB review). Peter suggested adding trail along the Highline/Goodhue ditches from S Boulder Road area up to Centennial, to join up with ditch trail & North Open Space. Mike suggested better alignment for Hecla Lake to Waneka Lake. and better signage for existing crusher fines trails. Mike suggested considering access through the large un-built-on lot at the west side of the Enclave to Davidson Mesa. Nathan showed some possible north -south trails in the Phillips 66 property, which staff viewed and walked earlier this week. The concept would be to connect Coal Creek trail to the NW Parkway underpass, Stearns Lake, and the planned 104th St trail. 3
